Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the road the Baudelaires and Mr. Poe took to get to Uncle Monty's House?

Answer: Lousy Lane

Lousy Lane was the most horrible road the Baudelaires had ever traveled on, mainly because it smelt of horseradish.

2. What was Uncle Monty's first name?

Answer: Montgomery

Uncle Monty often was ridiculed because his name was Montgomery Montgomery.

3. What was Uncle Monty's profession?

Answer: Herpetologist

Uncle Monty loved snakes, and herpetology is the study of snakes, so he couldn't have found a better job.

4. What Italian word does Uncle Monty use to call the children into the reptile room?

Answer: bambini

'Bambini' is the Italian word for children. Violet and her siblings of course didn't know that, so Uncle Monty explained its meaning to them.

5. Which of Uncle Monty's reptiles could imitate human speech in a gravelly voice?

Answer: Dissonant Toad

Uncle Monty introduced the Baudelaires to quite a few of his reptiles. The Dissonant Toad could imitate human speech in a gravelly voice, the Inky Newt produced black die, the Alaskan Cow Lizard produced delicious milk, and the Virginian Wolfsnake was to never, ever be let near a typewriter under any circumstances.

6. When Uncle Monty was talking to the Baudelaires about how he was a very widely respected herpetologist, what large and rarely used word did he use which meant "braggy"?

Answer: vainglorious

The word vainglorious means characterized by or exhibiting excessive vanity; boastful. In other words, braggy.

7. When Dr. Lucafont arrived after Uncle Monty's death, Klaus was furious with him because he was about to eat which food item that Uncle Monty had bought especially for their trip to Peru?

Answer: canned peaches

Uncle Monty picked up an odd assortment of items for their trip to Peru, such as Peruvian wasp repellent, toothbrushes, canned peaches, and a fireproof canoe.

8. The author described the phrase "mean while, back at the ranch" to be a very ______ phrase.

Answer: hackneyed

The author says that the word "hackneyed" here means "used by so, so many writers that by the time Lemony Snicket uses it, it is a tiresome clich�`". I guess whatever works works.

9. What did Violet do so as not to be caught eavesdropping?

Answer: she dropped her ribbon on the floor

Violet dropped her hair ribbon on the floor to help keep her from being caught eavesdropping. If someone saw her bending down, they would think she was picking up her ribbon, instead of eavesdropping.

10. What was the name of the man in the plaid suit who came to pick up Uncle Monty's reptiles?

Answer: Bruce

Bruce was explaining to the Baudelaires that all of Uncle Monty's reptiles now belonged to him and his crew. The Baudelaires were sad to see them go, especially the Incredibly Deadly Viper.
